Frosty morning. The garden at the music school still looks great in a wintery sort of a way. The seed heads of the Sedums are dusted with ice. The Hellebores are in full flower; like many winter hardy plants they flop in freezing conditions and will rise again when it's warmer.

 Dogwoods are a stalwart of the winter garden (i.e. Cornus species and cultivars). Nice and leafy in summer the bare stems are an ornamental feature in their own right and generally planted for that reason.

 In the rock garden Primroses are stirring despite the sub-zero temperatures.
